[Solution] Crash SnagCtl.exe (if you use language pack)

Steps for remove crash problem(example for ru-RU):

Main idea for this setps: set ru-RU lang by default and delete en-US lang

1)install LP on Shift (if it not installed)

2) set language by default

For ru-RU it can be done by regedit:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language]
"InstallLanguage"="0419"
"Default"="0419"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Locale]
@="00000419"
"(Default)"="00000419"

0419 – ID ru-RU

For your language, you can find ID in -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages
Parameter: LCID

3) Reboot

4) Delete English Language

5) Reboot

Yes, my touch screen is working on Windows 7. the trick seems to be the EC driver. it has to be installed FIRST before the Touch Screen driver is installed.

if you installed anything, you might want to uninstall everything and start over.
[Shift Development] big.ed:
Ok, so i got the buttons and resolution working as well. buttons started working when i installed the synaptics drivers - i didnt think i ineeded the driver since the track pad was working fine. the resolution seemed to kick in when i turned off aero - i did this before i installed the drivers. then i was able to flip between 800x480 and 1024x600. I can manually set it higher too, but it looks too bad when i do that.

Only thing i need to tackle now is the webcam... can't seem to find a driver for that anywhere... has anyone gotten this working???
[Shift Development] Caid444:
Hey, everyone. I've modified the guide a little bit to include the instructions of installing EVERY driver, regardless of whether a device works without it or not. I've also taken out the dvd installation method because I ran out of space (max 10,000 characters) and because, I think the usb method is MUCH easier seeing as most people have a flash drive, and most people don't have portable dvd drives.

A reminder to everyone who's considering installing win 7 on their shift, follow all the instructions. This guide has been updated based upon people's findings and problems. That means, if you skip something, you're going to hit a problem that has happened before, and it's avoidable by just following the guide.

Happy upgrading, everyone. ;)

Caid.

[Shift Development] Caid444:
Mine works...

I am getting the impression that this is why htc made an order for driver installation, skipping a driver causes the order to be incorrect. That might mean that without this order, certain things just never work because of registry edits which are dependant on other entries that don't exsist before a preluding driver installation.

ok - got it all working! Windows 7 is actually really nice on this Shift! even better with the new 120 GB hard drive - went in pretty easily too!
[Shift Development] gadget_theone:
Well, It seems that Windows 7 is not available anymore to download...I've tried to find a nice windows 7 torrent, but there are a few, and I really dont know what's the right one...

Can anyone please post the correct torrent link here? :)
[Shift Development] gadget_theone:
I've download the w7 rc version 32bit from torrent and got key from Microsoft.

All drivers have been instaled according to main post.

Result:

All ok :)

The diference to Vista is huge! Its the diference between day and night!

Congrats for this thread! Really Usefull! Vista really sucks on Shift.

With window 7, I even can watch a movie stored on external hard disk without any crash.

Just amazing!

Many thanks for all help

P.s.At the moment I've just noticied a w7 failure when I change theme to aero ones...But I really dont care about that! All functions and buttons are working as Vista and this is quite enough!

Shift is working better then ever.

Tiny7 experience?

I noticed Microsoft has removed the download links for Windows7 so I went on to try Tiny7, which really is the best experience I've had on the Shift so far. Unfortunaly the release has had "Tablet PC" removed from the bundle, which I guess is why the touchscreen doesn't work.. I'm not to happy with letting Tiny7 go as I'm sure it runs MUCH better than the full thing, but not being able to touch the screen, and missing the onscreen keyboard may be to much for me in the end :D

Is there anyway to get this back in somehow? :rolleyes:

Hello all,

I've just successfully installed Windows 7 on shift (a big thanks to all contributors), but I cannot see an answer to Caid444 issue about 3G cellular internet connection, as I have the same problem. The phone recognises the sim but Windows 7 wont connect to the internet through it. Can someone help me please?

Have you had it working before. In Vista or XP?

What ROM are you running on the WM side?

Have you disconnected all power from the device,reboot and then try?

Have you made sure Wifi is off?

Have you made sure your in 'High Performance' power mode?

Have you tried with AC adapter plugged in?

reliability

I can confirm that after installation of W7 build 7100 "everything" (buttons, wi-fi, bt, etc) is working, but the question remains FOR HOW LONG?

I experienced ad hoc stoppage of control center functioning and resolution button changer (nothing would happen when I 'd click its icon/button) and reappearing after a while, when I was just about to start tedious procedure of reinstalling all drivers by the commandments craig brought from other world :))

During installation of VGA driver I faced crahed with no error code or possibility of troubleshooting. Then I installed microsoft one and everything is ok for now. Also instead of real tek sound card driver I have microsoft one, and it's working, so I don't want to insist on htc ones, I doubt that they would offer me more stability.

Namely, I think that yet quite a few pieces of puzzle are missing on this topic, and that everyone should be prepared for sudden, ad hoc problems with OS functions that didn't happen on Vista (however hated) platform previously.

On the other hand, CP and RAM use is substantially lower and hence multitasking is possible in real life, not only in the advertising statements of HTS marketing force.

Cheers everyone, and keep experimenting, we are all lab mice ourselves, after all ;))

Ok, just finish installed win7 ultimate 7600 (RTM?) on mine with all drivers except Intel VGA. I installed this updated driver http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18223/a08/win7_1512754.exe

and only change resolution doesnt work & doesnt mind because the default size is the best & it supports aero with no bsod so far :)

Now hv to work on WM custom ROM :D

EDIT: screen resolution switch is supported after restart. It seems perfect now.

Ok, found it. I'm testing now and i'll report everything in a few moment (no BSOD, however)

Aero works in 1024x600 now (sorry for my english)

Instructions:

Download this driver:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/con...D=&DwnldId=18231&strOSs=&OSFullName=&lang=ita

Installation didn't works for me; simply updated drivers into device manager (point to folder where you unzip drivers)

After system restart uncheck 3-4 prompts and voilà, if you switch resolutions from intel taskbar icon with aero enable it works (if i switch resolution with dedicated Shift's button, when i come back to 800x480 aero autodisable (no BSOD HOWEVER)

Some hints:

1. New VGA driver: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=575678

2. Better WiFi driver attached (less (or no?) issue with some access points) (from Microsoft update catalog version 8.114.134.168 )

3. Tell that it's necessary to run the TouchScreen install as admin in Win Vista compatibility mode!
[Shift Development] dvoges:
Thanks for all the good advice. Yesterday I installed a new 80G drive MK8025GAL - same size as original and readily available on eBay. Then plugged in an external DVD and proceeded to install Win 7 Pro. Everything now works.

Challenges on the way included:

1. Determining how to open the ZIF connector on the drive - thin black plastic bar between the white plastic part of the connector and the drive body was the clue.

2. Determining how to set program execution to Vista mode - necessary for the Vista drivers installation.

The instructions at http://gadgetmix.com/index/how-to-install-windows-7-on-htc-shift-umpc/ were invaluable. Instead of the VGA driver from HTC I used win7_1512754.zip

The last thing I installed was ShagCtrl and everything worked - including the Shift Control Center launched from the top button. Then I manually installed WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) downloaded from Microsoft. I was SO pleased to be able to turn WiFi and BT on and off using the Control Center. :)

I'm stoked - I now have a a very workable Shift.

shagctrl crash

on my win7 build 7260 italian localized shagctrl crash after start with a strange problem to user32.dll ....what's the problem?? i try to reinstall ecdrive,shagctrl with removing c++ redistribuable but nothing...is possible an error for path to c:\program files\htc (on italian localized the path is c:\programmi\htc) ???
[Shift Development] Clander:
Thank you so much h17liner !

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate in English on my Shift not long ago.

Everything worked fine until I downloaded the Italian language pack (any language pack will give you the same problem).

I had not even changed the language to Italian yet.

Control Center crashed the second I got back from my restart after installing the language pack.

So I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate.

I paid careful attention to the order in which I installed the drivers.

I tried using only the drivers present on the HTC-Shift support page (always installing them in Vista SP2 compatibilty/run as admin). Same problem.

After one day of testing, I realized that the problem was not due to which drivers I was installing (the ones from the HTC page or the updated ones from Intel, Synaptics, Marvell, etc...).

And it was not due to the order in which I was installing the drivers either.

I changed the language to Italian. I reinstalled ecdrv and shagctrl (in Italian and in Vista SP2 comp/run as admin). Nothing !

The Shift Control Center always crashed at startup.

I then found your amazing post.

I would like to add for all those that are experiencing this problem:

once you change the language in Windows, all you need to change in the registry is the default value in this line:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language]

"InstallLanguage"="0410"

"Default"="0410"

I put 0410 for Italian (InstallLanguage was already set at 410).

Reboot.

The Control Center keeps on crashing.

I then uninstall the English language pack (I am just pointing this out. You MUST delete all the other language packs).

Reboot.

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!

The Control Center is working again.

THANK YOU !!!

Thank you monx®

i've got same build 7600 of W7

and it's bug with HTC VISTA VGA Driver installation

i've just install the W7 VGA driver that you give link and install it instead of HTC one (i install it only in administrateur mode, do not choise vista mode cause it's a W7 driver)

all is perfect !

just note that i have to reboot twice before the screen resolution switch will be operationnel

Please Note :

copy all driver to the c:\ (folder that you want)

cause to the Network install step you need to plug it (unplug usb stick) to install HTC Extension Kit USBLanDriver cause driver is under .inf
[Shift Development] bluesbrothers93:
in my turn thank you

before evry thing don't forget to create a restauration point

For me it's French

after installing FR-fr MUI Pack from Windows Update

and several reboot after each new FR setting

as FR azerty keyboard

and to suppr EN keyboard

before delete EN MUI install Pack

you need to modify registry

In the registre the FR code tu use is 040c instead EN 0406 code

HTC Ctrl panel reaper just after suppr of the EN MUI Pack

IMPORTANT

before make this regiter changing

you have to be sure the only trace of "EN"

you can see in Lang interface control panel of Win7

is about the"EN input MUI Lang"

if you can see other EN in // of your language

change it as FR for me

befor change registry setting

Great !

It works on the WM side no problems. It doesnt show up in device manager either. Everything else works like a charm. Using windows 7 ultimate. I also found while trying to install the driver it says in the cmd window that flashes up "ERROR: the process "TSASST.EXE" not found". The EC Driver installed successfully, but it looks as if it doesnt install this process for which the touch screen driver install is looking for.

hello all

in some rom's i noticed that the bluetooth is very fast routing the voice to the headset. and in others some its very slow.

sometimes when press the bluetooth headset action button, the call being answered and the voice coming from the phone for 2 to 3 seconds then routed to headset.

please let us share the tweaks and setting you did to get best bluetooth performance when use it with headset.

for me, allways doing:

- sample rate: 48000 Hz. ( giving more stable but didnt effect the sound routing)

- audio gateway service: Enabled ( to assure that the headset connect from begining )

best performance for that i found it in miri roms . may he help us to do same with other roms.

what about your experiments ???????

I had the same problem after installing lucidrom... it really freaked me out... it was stuck at the G1 screen for the longest time... neither wipe nor reflash worked for me... I had to start all over from RC29... it was a pain, and I nearly messed up my SD card... just a pain, try wipe/reflash, but if it doesn't work you might have to redo the whole process from the start (with RC29)
[G1 Android Development] jairomeo:
If you have apps2sd it takes a while to move everything over. The ext2 partition is mounted differently in the adp build. I had the same problem, wiping actually caused my problem. I did a nandroid backup and updated without a wipe and just watched everything ahppen. If youre concerned, after you do the update, connect your phone to your PC go to where you have the adb folder, and type adb logcat, you will see a log as th ephone boots, so you can see if its still working or looping

Thumbcal support command-line to do that, and i think that the commands are the same than ms-calendar. But even by seting thumbcal as defaut calendar, the topaz interfac still calls the old ms-calendar.

Uppon searching means of getting them back i discovered windows live help forums and it appears alot of people have been having their contacts deleated and they can be retrived by a windows live employee adding them to your account again.

Thus i beleive this may have been coninsidence and not linked.

Thankyou anyway for reading.

:/EDIT2:

Hey, a while ago i set up msn on my phone and stupidly made it so that contacts emails where added to my adress book. This added something like 400 emauils that i really didn't want on my contacts list.

So i used a program to remove them all, this worked a charm. Now i go onto msn and i have 6 contacts on my phone, on my pc i ahve a full list. I tryed syncing to update them that didn;t work, i tryed even telling it to add emails to my addressbook to no avail.

Im a bit lost as too what to do, i cant even find windows live messenger on my remove programs list to reinstall it.

It is possible to have a contact list on windows live mobiel without having it saved onto your phone isn't it?

Thanks.

:EDIt:

now after trying sync to my pc i no longr have windows live messenger contacst either.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] the_cool:
I think its about time I add something to the forum :)

Same thing happened to me, what i did was:

1. Log into messenger on your pc

2. Go to Options

3. Click on Privacy

4. Midway the screen you will see Contacts List and a button View. Click on view to see who has you on their list

5. You will see a list of all the contacts who have you and if you right click on them, you can add them to your contacts. Do this for all the contacts.

Only problem is, is that you will have to put them back into the category of your choice. But the ones who you have blocked will remain blocked

Hope this helps.

EDIT: oh and to prevent your email adds from adding to your contacts, re-setup your email address in windows live messenger on your mobile, and there should be an option of not syncing the contacts. I can't remember exactly what the option is called but its definitely there.
